It originally came from the Sign Language alphabet - I is the pinky up, L is the pointer and thumb, and all three together looks like the letter U - and it originally meant "I Love You".
Since then, the surfer culture in Hawaii has modified it (pinky and thumb out, pointer in) to mean "hang loose" or "keep it cool." Another modified version (pinky and pointer up, thumb in holding the other fingers) symbolizes devil's horns and is used in heavy metal culture.

Hang loose is just the thumb and the pinky. When people do the hand sign that you mentioned, it's like a heavy metal "ROCK ON" thing... or devil's sign.

I love you. If you put your pointer down, it means hang loose.

I love you. Without the thumb it's the sign of the devil.

I think what you're talking about is the 'just hang loose' thing that's from Hawaii.
